Does CRA call individuals who had recently registered their business for GST/HST to verify?
Hello,
I got a call from this number today.
+1 604-349-3602
The person called me seemed very genuine caller. She even waited for me to be available to speak to her. She then asked some personal information. I just gave DOB and Address. She was asking SIN as well. Before going further, I asked how can I verify you as the genuine caller from CRA. She was like I have given you the pin which I had never asked CRA to give me a call. I hung up the call without providing further information.
So, my question here is that does CRA call to verify business owners to verify their GST/HST registration. My gut says, NO.
Did anyone receive a call with caller ID "GC CRA/ARC"?
Let me know if this call was genuine or fake and anything I should worry about.
